Congressional Party Returns
From Unofficial Investigation.
Many of the Congressmen Left New
York With the Idea That the Sea
Level System Should Have Been
Adopted, but All Were Convinced
That the Lock Type la Better of the
Two Necessity For Large Steam
ers on the Pacific.
Further endorsement of the lock
type of cnnal and assurances of the
stability of the Gatun dam were voiced
In New York this week by members of
the congressional party which return
ed on the steamer Panama after an
official lnsectlon of theanal zone.
Moitt of the representatives expressed
themselves as delighted with their ex
istence and a number were outspok
en in their praise of the work being
accomplished on the canal.
Representative Michael F. Conry of
New York said:
"Many of us left New York with the
idea that the sea level system of ca
nal construction should have been
adopted In preference to the lock sys
tem. But after personally inspecting
the great work and familiarizing our
selves with the conditions on the iBth
mus all of us, I feel safe to say. re
turn convinced that the lock system
Is the better of the two and should be
carried through to completion."
Representative William Darius
Jamleann Of Iowa said the alarming re
ports circulated concerning the sta
bility of the Gatun dam had absolute
ly no foundation.
Representative James McLachlan of
California declared his trip left him
all the more convinced of the necessi
ty for the passage of his bill providing
for the building of 10 5.000-ton steam
ships to ply between Puget sound and
the city of Panama.
"The ships that now ply between
New York and Colon," said he. "leave
here with large cargoes for the Isth
mus and come back light. With
vessels In commission on the Pacific
side there would be handed over large
cargoes from the Pacific coast for de
livery to the i.ort of New York."
OSBORNE DISSENTS
File Opinion In Favor of Proposed
New Raiiroad Through New York.
Public Service Commissioner . T.
XI. Osborne dissents from majority
of his colleagues In the matter of
the application of the Buffalo, Roches
ter and Eastern railroad for a certifi
cate of convenience and necesifity. He
says in part:
Many months before this commis
sion was created my own experience
as mayor of Auburn had taught me,
and I had publicly stated the doctrine,
that for- the most part our public
service coriioratlons must be recog
nized aa local monopolies;-and that a
single strong company, under proper
Btate control and supervision, may
usually best ser'-e a single community.
Hut when it comes to protecting a
single railroad corporation in Its
monopoly over all the immense terri
tory from Buffalo east through Roches
ter and Syracuse to Albany, and thence
to Springfield, Worcester and Boston
on the one hand, and to New York on
the other: when it comes to tightening
the grip of such a monopoly upon the
commerce flowing from the West to
our two great Atlantic seaports, and
upon that flowing from the great man
ufacturing cities of New England and
our own state, hack again to the West
then I say that the doctrine of the
advantages to be gained by protecting
the monopoly of a single company is
being pushed verv much too far.
While I would certainly have the
state protect all public service corpor
ations against blackmail, against the
abuse of competition, I believe the law
never Intended, in these words of the
railroad commissioners of 1883 already
quoted, "to unreasonably prevent the
prosecution of needed and proper en
terprise."
PEACE IN COAL REGIONS
Award of 1902 Commission la Contin
ued For Another Three Years.
Pence between the mine workers
and operators in the anthracite coal
regions of Pennsylvania Is assured
for another period of three years. The
agreement continuing in force until
March 31, 1912, the awards of the an
thracite coal strike commission of
1902 was signed In the board room of
the Reading company in Philadelphia
on Thursday by the committee of sev
en on behalf of the mine owners and
a similar commltteo representing the
workers.
With the exception of five added
stipulations suggested by the miners,
the agreement Is Identical with the
one signed lb New York three years
ago. The mine workers' union is not
officially recognized, the members of
the miners' committee Blmply sign
ing the agreement "on behalf of the
representatives of the anthracite mine
workers."
Big Strike on Great Lakes.
The first formal declaration of war
by the labor unions on the great lakes
against the Lake Carriers' association

employed In every capacity on board

HUNDREDS DEAD AND INJURED
Storm Wave From the North 8wept
Four Southern States.
The storm wave seems to have had
Its orjpln In the north and swept from
the lake region south In Irregular
fashion, now moderating Its force as
If spent, now growing more turbulent
and angry.
The state of Tennesse was an espec
ially heavy sufferer. Estimates show
that at leant 50 people were killed In
that state alone, while the loss will
not fall short of a million. At Frank
lin and In Illllsboro there was loss of
life. The latter town Is said to be
practically destroyed. Near Pulaski,
in Giles caunty, the death lint reached
12 and muny were Injured.
The tornado swept over into Arkan
sas and killed eight persons near
Mammoth Springs.
Atlanta nnd most of Georgia escaped
with only slight property loss. But
two young people, a brother and sis
ter, loBt their lives at Atlanta by the
capsizing of a rowboat during a sudden
squall. '
Striking Alabama and headed in a
southeasterly direction the hurricane
continued upon its course of destruc

loss of property with probably several
lives sacrificed. At Hartzell at least
one Is dead and many hurt.
The death totals were swelled by
three lightning victims at Monroe, Ga.
DAMAGE TO CROPS
Immense Celery Fields Near Arkport
Suffered Heavily.
The flood from CanlFteo river has
subsided. The damage to crops In
the Canlsteo valley from the storm
and flood will reach many thousand
dollars. The immense celery fields in
the vicinity of Arkport suffered heav
ily. Reports from points In Steuben
county indicate heavy damage from
the high water.
The National Transit company's
pipe line, the main line of the Stand
ard Oil company, broke at Norton Hol
low, on Bennett's creek, and thousands
of gallons of oil escaped before the
break was discovered and the line cut.
250 EXECUTIONS
Parliamentarians Promptly Bring Re
actionary Conspirator to Trial.
The Constltu'tlcnnllsts at Constan
tinople have lost no time in bring
ing the conspirators in the recent
uprising to trial. The military court,
sitting in the war office, condemned
about 250 prisoners to death and they
were executed. Nadin Pasha, tha sec
ond eunuch of the palace, was hanged
at dawn on the Galata bridge, and his
great body was viewed by thousands
in the early morning hours.
The national assembly decided that
Sultan Mehmed V. should take the
oath to tho constitution within a week.
The assembly also ratified the depor
tation of Abdul Hamld to Salonlkl.
The government has decided to
send a commission to Adana to try by
court martial the instigators of the
mnssacres, and the commission is au
thorized to act with the utmost se
verity. It is alleged that, the chief authors
of the recent mutiny were Abdul

Burhan Eddlne. Rear Admiral Said
Pasha, sor. of Klamll Pasha, the for
mer grand vizier, and Nadir Pasha,
who were engaged for a long time
prior to the rising In corrupting the
troops. The two former have fled.
ICE UP 66 2-3: PER CENT
Notice of Increase Sent to All Con
sumers With Monthly Bill.
Action that had been generally
expected in New York city In view of
Increases by other' concerns was tak
en by the American Ice company by
advancing the wholesale price of Ice
66 2-3 per cent. Notice of the increase
was sent to all customers with the
regular monthly bills. Large consum
ers who have enjoyed contracts at 20
cents a hundred have been unable to
renew them. The American Ice com
pany controls half of the Ice trade In
the city. Most of the other Ice inter
ests have been awaiting the move
of the American Ice company, and oth
er Increase? will follow now.
Conditions In the Ice trade are sim
ilar to those of 1906, according to offi
cers of the American Ice company,
but they predict that the wholesale
figure will not go above $5, nor the
retail price above 40 cents a hundred.

In its character, at the institution of
civil engineers when the Aeronautical
society of Great Britain conferred on
Wilbur nnd Orvllle Wright, the aero
planists of Dayton, O., Its first gold
medal. Those who had gathered at
the Institution to V. itness the presenta
tion cheered and applauded repeatedly,
while the Wright brothers blushingly
bore their honors through an hour of
the warmest eulogies.
Finally the entire assemblage rose
up and gave three cheers for each of
the brothers. They sang "For they
are Jolly good fellows," and ended by
tiieerlng Miss Katherine Wright.

thus far unsuccessfully, to perfect his
own aeroplane for the British army,
and a largo number of scientists and
ladies were present
Speeches were made by Major Ba-den-Powell,
Colonel J. E. Capper, the
war office's aeronautical expert, who
referred to t'ue jflght brothers as
"unspoiled, as th& li they were no
bodies," and declafVu that the nation
which failed to keep pace with the
flying developments might get badly
left In war, and the chairman of the
gathering, Edward Purkls Frost, who
presented the medal.
Both Wilbur and Orvllle Wright
made brbf speeches, tersely express
ing their thanks. A reception was
then held and the brothers were sur
rounded, questioned and besieged for
autographs. Earlier In the evening
they were given a dinner at the Rltz
hotel by the Aeronautical society.
They were the guests at lunch of the
leading aeronautical experts, Including
seven Englishmen who had accom
panied them In different flights In
Franco.
The war office Is not likely to con
clude arrangements with the Inventors
until their aeroplane has been given a
trial In England In the presence of ex
perts. Their engagements In the
United States and Germany, however,
preclude the possibility of their being
able to attend to this personally for
some months, but they have made ar
rangements with a builder here for the
construction of machines and have ap
pointed an agent for Great Britain.
Their pntents, therefore, will be pro
tected and they expect to sell private
ly, even If the government does not
purchase.
C0MM0DITIESDECISI0N
Coal Carriers Practically Unaffected
by New Interpretation.
New York, May 4. With railroad
attorneys expressing satisfaction rath
er thajjf disapproval of the United
States supreme court's decision in the
so-called commodities clause case, the
stock market nnd railroad interests
generally, afteV a forenoon of uneasi
ness, adjusted themselves' quickly to
the situation with the conviction that
the coal carriers will be practically
unaffected by the Interpretation the
law barring "legal ownership only."
When the real meaning of the de
cision was understood here the stock
market quickly rallied and Philadel
phia and Reading, which declined
threp points on first reports from
Washington, almost immediately re
covered its loss, as did Delaware and
Hudson and Pennsylvania, which lost
14 and 1 point respectively on the
first break. Thereafter with the re
ceipt of more assuring news steady
advances were recorded, Reading
reaching 151V4, Its highest point since
1905. and making a range from 143,
its lowest point for the day.

LACK OF PREMEDITATION
Sought to Be Proved In Halnt Trial
Through Real Eitate Man.
Flushing, L. I., May 4, With thir
teen of the defense's witnesses dis
posed of, the Halns trial started on Its
third week before Justice Garretson In
the supreme court here. Perhaps the
most Important bit of testimony In be
half of Captain Peter C. Halns, Jr., the
defendant, charged with the murder
of William E. Annis, came when Leo
Bugg, a real estate dealer and a mem
ber of the Baysido Yacht club, where
Annis was Bhot. testified that he had
discussed the merits of certain prop
erty adjoining the yacht club with
Thornton Hains, the defendant's
brother, hnd at one time made an ap
pointment with Thornton Halns to
meet him at the yacht club.
Bugg's testimony tends to show lack
of premedllation on the part of the de
fendant and to corroborate that of
Thornton Halns, who testified that he
and the captain went to the yacht
club on Aug. 15 last, the day on which
Annis was killed, for the purpose of
finding Bugg or his partner, Jesper
son. to Inspect the Bayslde property.
Most of the day's session was occu
pied by the examination of officers of
the United States army and govern
ment employes, stationed at Fort Ham
ilton and Fort Hancock, and the negro
servants who were employed In Ca
tnln Halns' household at Fort Hamil
ton at the time he was In the Philip
pines. The army men testified to con
versations with Captain Halns at vari
ous times during July and August,
1008, and characterized his speech and
conduct upon these occasions as "irra
tional." Emma Livelle. the Halns' cook, and
Lillle Sawyer and Minnie Bohnie,
negro maids who were in the employ
of Mrs Claudia Halns, caused consid
erable amusement in court by tha
characteristic manner of telling their
stories of the alleged "antics" of
"Billy" Annis and Claudia Hains at
the Hains Fort Hamilton home during
the captain's abrence.

fore, according to a statement by Com
missioner Pearson of the state depart
ment of agriculture. He says there
are now thirty-six quarantines in ef
fect, covering flfty-Blx towns, four
villages and the cities of Albany, Hud
son, Elmlra, Troy, Schenectady, Wa
tertown, Rensselaer, Auburn, Geneva
and Bingbnmton.
Under the agricultural law it is the
rule of the slate department to require
dogs to be muzzled when the pres
ence of rabies is demonstrated and the
muzzling requirement is continued at
least sixty days.
Commissioner Pearson says that
within a few months five persons bit
ten by rabid dogs have died and there
have been a large number of deaths
of cattle, sliep and swine.
Commissioner Pearson has received
a telegram from the health authorities
at Lewiston, Niagara county, urging
that a quarantine be laid there at
once because of the presence of rab
ies. It was reported that a rabid dog
went through that section a few days
ago, biting several dogs and a horse.
The horse has bitten Dr. H. S. Wende,
a veterinarian of Tonawanda. The
horse has since shown positive symp
toms of rabies nnd Dr. Wende Is tak
ing preventative treatment. An Inves
tigation is being made.
